Program Purpose

The INTMAP program generates exposure and intensity maps from selected gamma-ray maps. An exposure map is first created from the user-selected gamma-ray counts map, then the intensity map is generated by dividing the number of events for each bin by the exposure for that bin. The program reads the appropriate exposure history file to obtain the modes and pointing directions of the instrument and uses the MPE SENSTV routines to get the instrument sensitivity data. The exposures for each bin is calculated and stored in the map. The maps are written to file in the same FITS format as the original gamma-ray map.
